With the help of this we are able to construct for Polheim a field of the same form and extent as that within which the first Polar station must lie.
According to this, Polheim would be assumed to lie one and a half geographical miles, or barely three kilometres, from the South Pole, and certainly not so much as six kilometres from it.
From your verbal statement I learn that Helmer Hanssen and Bjaaland walked four geographical miles from Polheim in the direction taken to be south on the basis of the observations.

'Polheim', "Home of the Pole", was Roald Amundsen's name for his acmp (the first ever) at the South Pole.
In this way, the pole had been boxed three times all told.On December 18 1911, Amundsen's expedition left Polheim, leaving behind his reserve tent, along with a letter for Scott and a letter intended for Scott to deliver to King Haakon in the ebent that Amundsen failed to return.
Both letters were later found with the bodies of Scott and his companions, and were further proof that Amundsen had attained the pole.When Amundsen's calculations were verified, it was found that his final camp lay within 2,500 yards of the mathematical South Pole, a remarkable achievement given he instruments available.

At Polheim, during a period of twenty-four hours (December 16 -- 17), observations were taken every hour with one of the sextants.
It may, however, be stated with some certainty that the longitude must be between 30° and 75° E.
The latitude, as already mentioned, is between 89° 57' and 89° 59', and the probable position of Polheim may be given roughly as lat.

The ceilings of the three main rooms on the first floor are decorated with stucco reliefs illustrating the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
The 18th-century owner of the castle, Count Franz Adam of Polheim, had the chapel decorated with a cycle of the 12 apostles in life-sized pairs in niches on the wall.

Meanwhile, Amundsen had determined from the sun shots that the Pole lay about 6 miles away, so on the morning of the 16th they they moved to the location marked "Polheim" which is where the famous tent (below left) was erected.
At Polheim the team took a series of hourly observations for a 24-hour period to confirm their location.
But Amundsen describes the observation point at Polheim as being a solid snow pedestal, while the depicted platform appears to be a box.

Two important collections of essays were published in its wake by Polheim (1985) and Bergel (1995).
These and other studies demonstrate convincingly Saar’s ability to capture and reflect various social and cultural discourses of his times (cf.
The ongoing critical edition of Saar’s novellas under Polheim’s general editorship provides a major impetus for continuing scholarly debate, as evidenced by the importance placed on Saar’s work in the seminal studies of Austrian literature and culture by Rossbacher (1992) and Thomé (1993).
